Yeah, there you go, 40 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.719 and then let's see what's a good answer. Yes, of course, 41 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.319 don't be ridiculous. Ha ha ha. That's a pretty good one. You 42 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.400 can use that one over and over again. The one question we tend to 43 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.680 get asked a lot here it tuned in is what's your favorite character? So 44 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.159 let's just get that out of the way first. Your favorite character. It's 45 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.800 hard to pick a favorite, but you know what, do you It's dark 46 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.560 Quen Duck, right, That's the one you always go to, isn't it 47 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.759 dark Wing? Uh? He's up there, it's uh, you know, 48 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.960 it's the answer is very simple. The problem is I've got more than one, 49 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.000 that is it. I don't know if anybody's noticed that, but Poo 50 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.400 and Tigger are in their own category. This is an answer I've actually get, 51 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.599 you know, a question I've had before. And then from there you 52 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.919 go, you know, Bonkers is in there, but from there you kind 53 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.319 of go to oh, Hondo absolutely, because you know, I have a 54 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.280 you know, I like the classic characters that I do. You know, 55 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.759 Pete, Pooh, Tigger, those areas. I mean, Pete's the oldest 56 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:28.599 Disney character. I don't know how you can't imagine not loving Pete. Besides, 57 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.599 he's such a good looking cuss anyway, so you gotta love Pete. 58 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.520 But from there, you know, I go to dark Wing, the tariffa 59 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.159 flaps in the night and uh, you know everybody loves Hondo or Knaka. 60 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.759 He's kind of a bad guy. But don't forget, you know something, 61 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.319 I have an investment for you. Why don't you just add me old Wallet 62 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.520 and I'll take care of everything from there. And and and Ray from Princess 63 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.080 and the Frog, because you know the women they love a man with a 64 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.759 big back. Poet whoa you know, there's Ray so I've got a few 65 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.120 of them. So there we go. If you want to know what your 66 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.599 favorite character is, you've now heard it. Yeah, yes, that's right. 67 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.319 And another one of my favorites is the next one. Yes, of 68 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.639 course, Disney, are you're listening. We need more characters.

We've asked some questions on Twitter. 73 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:36.519 So this first question here Jim comes from at Wonder Dog and he says, 74 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.399 how did you figure out what Don Carnage should sound like? Well, you 75 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.439 know, it's too fantastic that you asked me this question because I love me. 76 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:53.519 Uh No, you know the thing about Don Carnage was he just has 77 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.720 this explosive ego and he can do no wrong. Just ask him, and 78 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.000 you know they they I it was interesting because you know, when you think 79 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.439 of a pirate, of course he was an air pirate, a sky pirate, 80 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.639 but uh, you know they always go to a sort of you know, 81 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.279 a British or you know, a pirate or what you know, that 82 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.199 type of thing army where you're gonna go a hot at heat of vault and 83 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.800 you know, and I thought, oh, man, come on, so 84 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.879 but guess what. There were a lot of Caribbean pirates. Some of them 85 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:40.399 were even pirates of the caribbeing oh bullseye anyway, uh And and Don Carnage 86 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.680 sounded like he was I don't think any country would claim him. Maybe a 87 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.360 little Cuba, maybe a little Puerto Rico, maybe a little you know, 88 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.199 Wyoming. It's hard to say, but you know, I just wanted to 89 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.399 come up with the character that nobody wanted to claim for their own. And 90 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.279 so the next thing I know, I was talking like this. And you 91 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:08.079 know something, if I watched not me, I would interview because you get 92 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.000 to meet me. And that's where Don Karnage came from. I feel like 93 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.079 he saw like an earlier version of like Hondo, just from the vibes of 94 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.480 just being like, you know, the confident bad guy. Oh yeah, 95 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:25.040 yeah, that's fair, that's fair. They're not soundedlike but night just okay. 96 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.399 Good. Do you get annoyed when someone says, oh, you know 97 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.600 that character, you do, he sounds like that? Is that annoying for 98 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.000 a voice acted to say that two roles sounds similar? I would think so. 99 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.079 Yeah, I mean, I mean Sterling Holloway, his roles were very 100 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.879 similar. But that was just his voice, wasn't it. Oh yeah, 101 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.639 yeah, well he was he you know. I mean, you know, 102 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.079 I've always said that the car was evil Pooh and the cheshire Cat was crazy 103 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:58.519 Pooh. You know, so you know I trust in me, you know 104 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.439 it was, but it was still Sterling. Did you ever watch Tailspin growing 105 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.680 up? Chris? No, No, I didn't. Did you watch television 106 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.480 when you were a child, honestly? Not a lot? Not a lot? 107 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.519 Yeah, I just I wasn't allowed to watch a lot of television. 108 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.319 I was allowed to watch an hour of television a day, and usually my 109 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.560 shows were like Pokemon, Like if I got back, it was Pokemon. 110 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.680 I forget that you're younger, yeah, I know that much younger than me 111 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.680 though, But I see I was never a Pokemon kid. Yeah, yeah, 112 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.600 I would have liked to say, Jim voicing a Pokemon that would be 113 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.759 fun. Yeah. And then I played a lot of video games too, 114 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.439 so like the one hour a day included video games, so like it was 115 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:42.160 either usually either like TV or video games. So most of the time, 116 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.759 like I had two younger siblings too, and like, you know, that's 117 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.439 more of like a group activity. It's playing video games. So we played 118 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.199 a lot of video games, and like, yeah, the weekends, like 119 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.920 Saturday mornings, like, yeah, we would get our cartoons in. But 120 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.920 for me, it was like it was like cat Dog Doug that is our 121 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.759 man, Billy West, Doug Funny yeah, yeah, oh yeah, SpongeBob. 122 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.480 But yeah, usually it was just like in that one hour I got 123 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.879 per day, it was kind of whatever was on. So I never really 124 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.000 had like shows, you know, I just kind of watched like whatever was 125 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.360 Yeah. Yeah, in the time I was allowed, it still felt like 126 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.480 King at that point in animation was still the Simpsons. And you've said, 127 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.680 you've never had any interest youah, never had any interest in you Jim being 128 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.279 you played the Horse Duncan Galactica. It's such an odd thing. I was 129 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.000 just like, of all the things to play, Yeah, yeah, I 130 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.199 know, I thought the same thing. It's like, you've got Jim, 131 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.159 You've got the You've got the Jim. You realize it's the Jim Cummings, 132 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.639 right, the gym comings. Yeah, well I think he had a few 133 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.679 of these on his show, so he did, you know, Dan and 134 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.720 the Gay. Yeah, we're not worried about We're not worried about the Simpsons. 135 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.559 No, no, best question at Hamato miss She says, what is 136 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.720 the type of music and or song that has been a big influence to get 137 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.879 you in the right headspace, whether it be pre work, post work, 138 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.440 or just to get through day to day stress. What are your relaxing songs 139 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:05.159 that you go to? Yeah, Mega Death. Oh no, wait, 140 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.240 no that's not me, that's someone else.

I mean you know, I was the singer for 143 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.000 the California Raisins, and so I mean, you know the music I listened 144 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.159 to right now. I like Afro Cuban jazz, ju Joe Valdez and Fey 145 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.000 Jane as well. Apparently. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah.

Is that something you wish 149 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.759 you had done more of writing writing music because people are just blown away by 150 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.840 how good your singing voice is, and you've selling songs in Disney films. 151 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.480 But do you wish you wrote more music and recording more music? Threat the 152 00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.399 is or yes, yes and no. I mean that's that's that's a whole 153 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.399 nother you know, realm. And I've got a few songs under my belt 154 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.000 that i could probably do something with. We're talking about it today conincidently, 155 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.759 and you know, you never know, stay tuned. Were you ever offered 156 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:15.879 I don't know whether it's something coming up, but we have ever offered the 157 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.320 chance to write a song for a Disney film? No, no, no, 158 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.080 no, they've you know, let's see Randy Newman, Jim Cummings, 159 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.480 Randy Newman, Jim Cummings, ma'am, Maybe we'll go with Randy.

Next one here at Million GENRD, they say 163 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.480 one character they've been a fan of is Pete, and barring a potential upcoming 164 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.399 podcast episode where you discuss him, this person hasn't heard you Jim talk about 165 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.720 his role much at all with Pete. Why is that is some professional level 166 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.600 of courtesy towards a character? Why do you not tend to talk about Pete 167 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.840 all that much? Well, I don't know what that's a stupid question. 168 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.639 What kind of stupid crap are you coming up with? There? No, 169 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.480 No, I don't know. I you know, if he comes up, 170 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.360 he comes up, and he's there. You know, I've been known to 171 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.960 do him at plenty of conventions. You know, well, there you go, 172 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.080 buddy with Winnie the Pervi. He's sort of like one of the constants, 173 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.480 though, isn't he. You know, he's in the games and he's 174 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:30.159 got his Mickey shows and well, you know, Pete is uh the oldest 175 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.720 Disney care Perhaps he's tied with Mickey. I think I think Mickey Steamboat Steamboat 176 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.720 really was the first one, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. My 177 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.039 kids get so excited when they hear that. It means they have movies are 178 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.960 about to start. It's it's like yes, intro for Disney films out of 179 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.399 here that like, oh yes, yeah movies. Yeah, I love it. 180 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.759 I love it. Yeah. I'm a Disney kid myself, so you 181 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.000 know that. You know, when I started coming up with and landing different 182 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.679 roles at you know, for Disney. You know, inside I was just 183 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.519 jumping up and down because I as a child, I mean I knew I 184 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:13.919 always wanted to do this, but I never knew that. I never knew 185 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:20.960 that, you know, I would end up Big Pete or Winnie the Pooh 186 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.039 or Tigger. I mean, I just that's too much to think about. 187 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.039 You know, you can't think that because besides, they were already being done. 188 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.120 Yeah, yeah, exactly by my predecessor's got May they rest in peace? 189 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.679 Yeah, when it comes to animation, I don't think there was anyone 190 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:37.759 like Disney's the peak, right, I mean, if you if you have 191 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.080 voiced, that's that's it. That's that's the goal, right. Yeah, 192 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.639 yeah, no, I agree. You know, DreamWorks is way up there. 193 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.480 You know, Marvel Is there was their own Now they're Disney anyway, 194 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:56.360 Yes, sure, And of course Hannah Barbera I was very blessed to do 195 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.120 tons of work for them, and uh yeah no, but no, it's 196 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.279 it's Disney. Warner Brothers. Absolutely, but you know, Disney's kind of 197 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.799 number one and Warner Brothers. I hope nobody's listening at Warner Brothers, but 198 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.120 they're number two. But for me, though, it was always like you 199 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:16.639 know, you had it was Disney and then it was like the Looney Tunes. 200 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.720 They were like that oh you oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I 201 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.559 think the Looney Tunes may have almost felt on on par I feel like the 202 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.679 Luny Tunes, like they are timeless, like bugs Bunny. He's up there 203 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.480 with Mickey Mouse surely, right, Oh absolutely, yeah. I mean, 204 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.360 you know, they're the same thing, only different, that's all. You 205 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.519 know. They were more splat and run, there were more pratfalls, there 206 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.960 were more you know, they're more like they were bunkers. They were. 207 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.240 Yeah. Absolutely, that's a good way to put it. Yeah, that 208 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.399 would be nice to have seen Bonkers in space jam all Lanney tunes. But 209 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.159 of course I think those two parties were going to be coming to the same 210 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.960 table. No, I don't think so, no, no, all right, 211 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.840 let's get to another question. So at bo La but Lah, they 212 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.399 say, have you ever played a character that has really strained your voice? 213 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:11.679 And if so, which one? Yes, Well, Taz is the standout 214 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.279 there and you know I requested, I said, okay, you know when 215 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.320 I when I landed the role of Taz. You know you can't do that 216 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.000 all day long. You know, mel Blanc didn't even do it all day 217 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.879 long. And so I requested, I said, Okay, let's do this. 218 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.840 I can't well, you know, blah blah. Can we do it 219 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.039 on Friday afternoon? In other words, like, you know, the last 220 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.879 thing, four o'clock in the afternoon Friday, four to six. And then 221 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.720 that way I had the whole weekend to recover, if you know, if 222 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.159 need me, if need me. And there was that, and then there 223 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.960 was one terrible, awful movie that I did called The Mangler, and you 224 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.759 played the bored or something, wasn't it. Yeah, I can't Yeah it 225 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.720 was. I don't know. I don't really want to acknowledge that.

The first line was eye of the 271 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.319 terriff that flaps in the night. The next line was wide open.

Oh yeah, yeah, 283 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.039 Well for you bury me in the cold, cold ground when someone's doing 284 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.440 a cameo if they request Taz, do you charge anxtion twenty bucks because I 285 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.559 hurts your voice? Uh no, but that doesn't mean well, see Taz 286 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.880 doesn't really talk talk, so he doesn't get a lot of action. No. 287 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.519 Yeah, but if you want somebody to light your fire or whatever, 288 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.480 you know, Taz is your guy. Did you voice him in space jam 289 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.960 tz? Yeah? Was that you? Yes? I can, well, 290 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.559 the very first one. No you didn't at first one, okay, because 291 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.519 he says lemony fresh in that first space jam yeah. Yeah, And the 292 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.400 very first one he comes in and goes and I think they just got somebody 293 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.839 who was sitting around. He didn't have any lines, it says Lemonee Fresh. 294 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:06.000 That's it. That's all he says. That's oh oh wow, Yeah 295 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.480 it was somebody else. Mate, Billy West he was he was bugs in 296 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.759 that movie though, Yes he was. Yeah, he's great. That's a 297 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.039 hell of a character to get under you on your resume. All right, 298 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:21.839 Next question here at Jacob Underscore Render Gene, he says, I've always wondered 299 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.960 why is Gopher not in the franchise as much as he used to be because 300 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.599 he was one of his favorite characters. Why is Gopher not around as much 301 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.960 as he used to be. Do you know, is there a reason for 302 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.480 that or is it just you know, yeah, well that's fair, you 303 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.200 know, I and I and if you want to check out the very originals 304 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:42.119 from the nineteen sixties, the first three that were there, Gopher pops up 305 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:48.519 and I can't remember the situation or what it was, but he pops up 306 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.640 and there's Pooh and tiggering the gang and he said, well, you know, 307 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.759 if you want to get rid of me, you have to talk to 308 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:59.160 me. You have to do this that because you know, not in the 309 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:04.279 book. And that was a sly reference to the fact that A. Milne 310 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.880 didn't write Gopher. He literally was not in the book Winnie the Pooh and 311 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:14.599 Tiger two and Day for e or he was actually not in the books. 312 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.359 He was. He was a character that they brought up for TV. I 313 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.319 wonder if there's a legal reason for him not him phasing him out. Maybe 314 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.559 there's a legal reason or something. He knows. I don't know. I 315 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.920 think, uh, you know, for one thing, I you know, 316 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.720 too many cooks spoil the broth. I mean, kan I was gonna say, 317 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.759 yeah, I felt like towards the late nineties that it felt like there 318 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.920 was a lot of new characters being added to Winnie the Pooh. Yeah, 319 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:44.119 yeah, you know, Lumpy and uh you know the few characters that have 320 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.519 a lumps bum, you know, they they you know, they had a 321 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:53.559 plethora of different characters. So, but everyone already owned a tiger and Winnie 322 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.480 the Pooh toy and did a new characters to sell toy wise. Yeah, 323 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.440 that's right, that's right. Yeah, well they had plenty of those. 324 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.319 How many Winny of the Pooh toys do you reckon you own? Is it 325 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.160 just a one plutch or do you have a few. I might have a 326 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.640 few. You get the one that's famous annoy your videos that you hold up 327 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.039 but different different pools. Yeah yeah, well, well that one I stole 328 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.000 from the movie Christopher Robin. Is that the one that was getting you a 329 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:22.279 lot of grief on the plane could be? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 330 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:27.519 but I stole that from when we were doing publicity for Christopher Robin. I 331 00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:33.759 was over on the Disney lot and they gave me those to do publicity pictures 332 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.279 with and holding them and doing this and that, you know, and and 333 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.039 Winnie the Pooh, the movie Winnie the Pooh, which everybody thought was a 334 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.440 re release, but it wasn't. It was a great show and you know, 335 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:51.000 Tom Kenny was Rabbit and we just had a ball doing it. And 336 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:55.640 anyway, I stole them, so but don't tell anyone. I wouldn't want 337 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.119 to be that intern talent Jim comies. You can't take the Winnie the Poo 338 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:03.759 doll. Yeah, yeah, they were going, well, actually those are 339 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:11.119 we have them up on the mantle and I said, did you Well no, 340 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:17.160 I mean because because we're gonna put them back, and I go, 341 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.160 you know what, I'll take care of it for you, thanks, and 342 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.960 then I just kind of left. It's good to be the Pooh. It 343 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.160 certainly is. Yes. At Itty Underscore Official, they say, if you 344 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.440 could hang out with any one of your characters for a day, who would 345 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.440 you choose? Huh, well, let's see, does it have to be 346 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.759 one? I think Tigger and dark Wing. It also depends what you want 347 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.920 to be doing during the day, too, doesn't it. Yeah, dark 348 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.839 Wing, Hondo would be up there, and Donk Carnage. I feel like 349 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.640 Hondo would be the most fun, right just traveling? Yeah, I think 350 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:55.920 so? Yeah, Yeah, Honda's way up there. Oh. Absolutely, 351 00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.759 here's a question of any universe that you've been a part of, which is 352 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.319 the one need want to be if you could go into it, do you 353 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:06.559 think of the Star Wars universe. Yeah, that wouldn't be bad. Yeah, 354 00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.039 you know, there's a lot to be said for that method of travel, 355 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.279 you know, and I like travel, so we could have I could 356 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.599 have done this with you right next to you, had Handel been around, 357 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.559 because exactly Starship in my past or presence. So yeah, I've always thought 358 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.000 that's one of the most genius things in the history of film. It's just 359 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.000 that opening of in a galaxy far far away a long time ago. Oh 360 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:32.480 okay, absolutely when you first look when you were watching a new Star Wars 361 00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:34.200 film, when that when that text comes up on the screen, it just 362 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.680 ignites a feeling aside you like, no, either doesn't it, Yes, 363 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.440 it does? It does? It works with me, you know. I 364 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:47.880 remember I was maybe eighteen when the first one came out, and and we 365 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:52.000 all, me and my friends and I were sitting there watching TV and we 366 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.039 all went, Okay, we're gonna go see this one. We're gonna go 367 00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.920 yeaho, We're going to see this one. Yeah. I mean it was 368 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.720 like boom at Jordan drawings. Jordan wants to know, has there ever been 369 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.039 a joke or a gag that you and other voice actors have made in the 370 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.920 recording booth that was implemented into a show that you worked on. Well, 371 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.000 that's similar to a lot the Ukunda Matata song. Oh yeah, yes, 372 00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.200 you improvising gags that found their way in. Oh yeah, yeah. Well, 373 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.119 I mean, you know, there's any number of them. I mean 374 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.839 literally too many to mention, you know, because I would do one as 375 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.799 written, and then I would do one as it should be, you know, 376 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.759 And so yeah, I've a lot of my ad libs make it in. 377 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.640 It's just, you know, just the nature of the beast. Do 378 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.119 you think there was more improvising going on if you're with somebody in the studio 379 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.480 or do you think when you buy yourself you provide more? Okay, yeah, 380 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.680 yes, yes, yes, you know I told you. I think 381 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.279 I told you the Robin Williams story that we were doing the third Aladdin and 382 00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.000 made of it anyway, I was. I played Rasseul, you know, 383 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.799 the big guy that you will live to take it up with him. I 384 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:10.119 take my orders directly from ja'far Princess. You know that big muscle guy yea 385 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.960 and street yeah, street rat, that's the one. And I had lived 386 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:21.960 There was this one's court sequence uh, in which Robin in the in the 387 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.559 third one turned into an attorney. Uh and and and and all of a 388 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:32.440 sudden, you know, Jeanie was in the courtroom and he was the prosecuting 389 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:37.480 attorney, and my guy was sitting in the witness chair, and he said, 390 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.960 well, what about this? And have you done this? And blah 391 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.480 blah blah, and then uh and then I had lived an answer and uh. 392 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.119 He asked me another thing, and then I had lived another answer and 393 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:53.279 I can't remember them. But the problem is they wanted to keep my ad 394 00:26:53.319 --> 00:27:03.319 lib. So that necessitated bringing Robin back in to re record his lines in 395 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.039 response. So he did the first two lines and then the third when he 396 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.599 goes, I'm sorry, that's fine, I will not be upstaged by a 397 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.319 tertiary character. Goodbye, And he reached over and went like that and rolled 398 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.880 me up into a Venetian blind and puff all right, now where were we? 399 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.279 You know? And and my character was gone, and I thought, 400 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:32.319 I'm so proud to have been professionally dissed by Robin Williams. So you were 401 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.880 in the studio with Robin recording that. No, no, we did it 402 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.759 separately. You know, movies like that, you can't do them, doesn't 403 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.160 work, you know. Yeah, I just know when you said you improvised, 404 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.839 I didn't know whether you improvised at the time. Yeah, okay, 405 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.400 so, oh no, that would have been fun. Yeah. I was 406 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.960 gonna say, there's gonna be some stories that did you ever work with Robin 407 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.440 on anything? Well outside of that? No, I mean, I mean 408 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.519 just like you never have met Robin or anything like that. Oh no, 409 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.160 no, no, no, not a shame. It's just one of those 410 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:04.480 talents where you know, some celebrities they passed and you go when when Robin 411 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.920 passed, it felt like you lost a family member. It really did, 412 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.680 I know? I amanda that. Yeah. He was a genius. He 413 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.279 was a genius. Yeah, he's one of those people much like yourself. 414 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.839 He's it's one of those people that the nineties kid, we just grew up 415 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.839 with him. He was in so many of the filures that we were raising 416 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:26.880 Jamunji Misses out Fire. He was Yeah, great movie. This next one 417 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.640 hears from at J Shouster and they say, whatever happened to Peg? And 418 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:34.400 Pistol. Where'd they go? Oh, they're doing fine. They live in 419 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:42.079 Burbank. There were I don't know, no little pistol. You know what 420 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:49.519 pistol was is Nancy Curtright. Yes, you know who played Peg? April 421 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:53.079 Winchell. April Winchell. That's it. Paul's one. She Well, you 422 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:57.000 know what's interesting is she has been my wife in two shows and she was 423 00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:03.240 named Peg and both of them. Okay, interwebs, can you name those 424 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.640 shows? Uh huh, I'm just gonna let that sit there, Just gonna 425 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.880 let it. It was gonna city for half now and see that can answer 426 00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:14.480 us. That's right, that's right. But but yeah, so we have 427 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.680 to do a show on goof Trip Goose Trips, one of those shows that 428 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.799 much like Bond because I just I loved it as a kid. And just 429 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.920 quickly before we move on to the next one, what are your initial memories 430 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:23.960 of goof Troop? There must have been a blast to do as well. 431 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:29.960 Oh gosh, it really really really was a bless because you know, Jenny 432 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.359 McSwain was the director, and you know, it was like a license to 433 00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:38.200 steal because I used to just add lib all over the place, and it 434 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:44.319 was so much fun. And I can remember one one scene in particular where 435 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:52.799 Pete was Pete was gearing up to to petrify the children, you know, 436 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:57.279 his kids and the neighborhood kids during Halloween and uh, and he's and he's 437 00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:02.119 walking off because Peg busted him and said, oh, stop that now, 438 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.799 you get in here right now and leave the children alone. And Peek walks 439 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.359 off grumbling, and they said, can you give us something? While he's 440 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.240 ticked off and he's walking back toward the house and he goes, well, 441 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:18.079 that's ridiculous. I mean, honestly, what's good boy to having kids if 442 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.599 you can't have a little fun with them besides a shock to the systems? 443 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.440 Good for him moving now. And then it purchased their little glands that they 444 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.880 may grow, you know. And I looked in the booth and Bob Taylor 445 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:37.720 was just peeing himself laughing. And he goes, purchase their glands, and 446 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.160 I said, sure, that's got to be a healthy thing, right, 447 00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.000 and he goes, I don't know, but it's in and it made it 448 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.119 to the show. So I feel like Pete would not be a fan of 449 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.640 the twenty twenty three approach to parenting. You know, he's just very much 450 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:55.680 your old school dad, isn't he. Oh, I'm thinking, yes, 451 00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.799 it's interesting, you say, it's because, like you look at and Goofy. 452 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.039 There's similarities between the relationship between Lucky and Bonkers, isn't there where Goofy 453 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.720 is the wacky one and Pizza is like, what are you doing Goofy? 454 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.920 You know? Yeah, well kind of a Laurel and Hardy groove too. 455 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.359 Yeah, from where goof Goofy didn't go out of his way to be annoying. 456 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.400 Neither did Bonkers, But Goofy wasn't on the level of Bonkers. But 457 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.319 Goofy was more lovable, I think than what Bunkers Bonkers was. It was 458 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:23.519 more like an accidental misapp you know. Yeah, we're going to be covering 459 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.720 goof Trip. We have to cover a Goofy movie as well, another movie 460 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:29.359 that I absolutely loved as a kid, and just Pete in general. That's 461 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:32.640 going to be we should get Bill on as well to talk about Goofy. 462 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.599 Yeah, that'd be good. Let's do it, all right, let's get 463 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:41.920 through some more questions. At Richard t six' three d. He says, 464 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.960 do you remember the first line you ever said as Winnie the Pooh. 465 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.480 Oh, boy, I remember you said you couldn't remember the audition what you 466 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.119 said in the audition? Could you have for Winnie the Pooh? Yeah, 467 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.799 not really. I mean they had, they had sides, you know, 468 00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:01.200 and they were all you know, they were all lines from the movie of 469 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:06.119 the original one. Okay, yeah, the original And because they wanted to 470 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.319 just the whole idea was to keep the continuity going, to make it sound 471 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:13.920 like the same character, act like the same character. Pooh and Tigger. 472 00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.960 Well, he was so established already, wasn't he. Oh oh, yeah, 473 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.200 sure, you know, they won an Academy Award, but it was 474 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:25.000 like twenty years prior, so therefore they needed to you know, I mean, 475 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.440 if it ain't broke, you don't have to fix it, and Pooh 476 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:31.640 was not broken, so you know, I don't. I don't. I'm 477 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:37.880 sorry to say, I don't really remember the actual but but you've heard them. 478 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:42.400 It's quite interesting. I want to ask, So what are your thoughts 479 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.559 you just touching on them with Winnie the Pooh When you were playing When you 480 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.279 first got the role of Winnie the Pooh, you wanted to continue Sterling's voice, 481 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.720 right, sure, I'm a big Muppets kid. I grew up on 482 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.440 the Muppets. Love the Muppets, right, and my kids now the Muppets 483 00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:59.000 just from me. Yeah. Now, some of the new voices of the 484 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.759 Muppets, and particular Big Bird, the new Big Bird, they sound very 485 00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:06.359 different, and Kermit the Fox sounds very different to the Kermit and Big Bird 486 00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:08.119 that I corrupt. Yeah, but my kids don't see the difference. They 487 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.880 just watch it because you know it's Big Bird, doesn't They don't focus on 488 00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.000 the voice. But do you think it's important that if you're gonna be taking 489 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.960 over such an iconic character, do you think it's important they should be trying 490 00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:22.559 to find somebody that can truly capture the same voice. Oh? I think 491 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.160 so. I think so, yeah, because it puts me off to the 492 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:28.400 point where I always go Not that I don't enjoy it, but it's just 493 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:30.119 so distracting as of someone who grew up on the Muppets. Yeah, when 494 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.079 Kermit doesn't sound like Kermit anymore, I go, I can't focus on it 495 00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.960 properly anymore. Yeah, No, I agree. I think that's part of 496 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.319 the deal. I think that's in the job description. You know, you 497 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.720 have to show up and and be what has been established, because if it 498 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.359 ain't broke, don't fix it, right, Like I said, I mean 499 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.480 the voice is the character almost, isn't it. Oh yeah, yeah, 500 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:58.920 I mean that's it, you know of Kermit a rubber ducky, I love 501 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:04.759 you. No, it's not going to work. Do you hesitate to try 502 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:07.839 and impersonate other characters that you don't voice? Do you say that as somewhat 503 00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.760 of disrespectful? If someone says to you, can you do a voice of 504 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.159 another of a friend of yours? Do you do you not mind doing it? 505 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:16.800 It's not a sign of disrespect or is it justuking it whatever? Yeah? 506 00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:22.800 Yeah, I don't get that very much. No, you know, 507 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.440 it doesn't really come up. You know, nobody's asking me to do SpongeBob 508 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.000 because he's being done. Because because one of the questions came through was can 509 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:31.199 you do Jimmy Cricket's voice? And I thought, I'm not going to ask 510 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.000 that, but I thought to be disrespectful for you know, asking jim who 511 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:37.559 does not voice Jimmy Cricket, can you do that voice? I didn't know 512 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:39.960 whether as a voice actor, that would be seen as a sign of disrespect 513 00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:45.360 or not. Yeah, I'm trying to think, always make your conscience be 514 00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:50.719 your guy. Yeah. That was a fellow named Ukulele Aich I think was 515 00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.119 his name, and he actually kind of looked and they drew Jimminy Cricket to 516 00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:59.960 look like him. But really, yeah, I don't think Jimminy is around 517 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.199 much anymore. No, it's not, you know, God bless him, 518 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.800 but I would take a swing at it if it came up. Yeah, 519 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:09.880 you know, because he's no longer with us, God rest, so of 520 00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:14.639 course. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this last one here, this has 521 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.199 nothing to do with characters that you voiced before. One last one this is 522 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.119 from at Frank b A eight zero one two zero seven zero four. Okay, 523 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.039 that's his username, but oh, good old him. I think I 524 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.480 already know the answer to this one because we've touched on your video game expertise 525 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.000 in the past. But his question is are you a super Mario Brothers fan? 526 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:39.760 Who I think that whack whack a whacker. Uh No, I'm just 527 00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.119 not a big I mean, more power to him. I think. You 528 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.960 know, if you enjoy it, knock yourself out, you know, just 529 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:53.519 don't spend the whole day doing it. It's interesting because the video game to 530 00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:58.360 film sort of trajectory now has now a big success. For a long time, 531 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.639 they tried to turn video game into movies and they just bombed, just 532 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.760 didn't do well. And then Sonic the Hedgehog, they they released that a 533 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.360 few years ago, did really really well. The Super Mario Brothers movie this 534 00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:12.880 year did really really well. But there again, as you call it TV 535 00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:16.440 guidecasting, they're getting actors and putting them in there, right, Yeah, 536 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.360 it must get annoying when you think there's all these new opportunities arising. But 537 00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.199 it's like, I'm not going to people whose craft is voice acting. We're 538 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:27.159 going to people who have a name. Is there a level of frustration there? 539 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.079 Oh? Yeah, yeah, I've always said that. You know. 540 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.440 It's like, you know, my old joke was, I won't star in 541 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:38.199 the next mission. Impossible if Tom Cruise quits doing you know, voices for 542 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:45.639 cartoons. And I'm not I'm not breaking my door down. But because there 543 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.960 was a lot of talk about the Mario character, and you'd be well aware 544 00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:52.599 it's Chris that Chris Pratt voiced Mario in the new film. Oh is that 545 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.719 okay? Yeah? When we think of Super Mario, we think of the 546 00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.199 know it's me the Mario voice from the video games, right, yeah, 547 00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.760 so long it's been that Italian. I thought it was Italian. Hes a 548 00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:06.559 Italian sound, it's to me, yeah it's Italian. But that was saying 549 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.360 it's playing on the stereotypes. But you can still do the Mario voice, 550 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:12.519 but not put on that sort of accent. Right, But it's just Chris 551 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:16.320 Pratt essentially, just doing Chris Pratt as Mario and just go what that doesn't 552 00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:21.960 what? See that? That one surprisingly didn't bother me as much as Seth 553 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.800 Rogan as Donkey Kong. For some reason, that stood out way more to 554 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.360 me. And I thought Jack Black as Bowser was great. I thought that 555 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.639 was hilarious. Jack Black was really good. But see he yeah, he 556 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:34.920 could always I feel like he could be a voice actor. Jack Black. 557 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.639 He's just so good. He's very diverse. Yeah, he's very very talented. 558 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.480 With you in his voice, he can sound like anything. It's crazy, 559 00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.960 very true. Yeah. Do you feel like voice actors are good singers 560 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.039 as well? Is there an element to singing when it becomes to being a 561 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:49.159 good voice actor? Do you think, Jim, because Jack Black's a great 562 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.719 singer. Yeah, Well, I mean I'm sure that it helped me. 563 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.400 There's no doubt about it. You know, I've got sung for other people, 564 00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.639 you know, so yeah, I you know, because you're using a 565 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:06.119 mic, it's you know, I didn't look for a camera. I'd look 566 00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.320 for a microphone. So and a microphone. You know, if there's a 567 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:12.480 microphone around, you can sing into it. I feel like being a singer 568 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.719 like contributes to your abilities as a voice actor. Like you're able to control 569 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:19.079 your voice at like such a young age, and you would really learn, 570 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.880 like, you know, how to sing out of your you know, out 571 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:24.239 of your out of your mouth or out of your chest or your diaphragm or 572 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:28.400 whatever. I think, in my personal view, I feel like being a 573 00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:32.960 singer has more of effect on being a good voice actor than say vice versa. 574 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:35.960 You know, like, if you're a good voice actor, I don't 575 00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.760 I don't necessarily think that's going to translate you to you being a good singer. 576 00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:44.360 Yeah, you're one hundred percent right, because you know, anybody that's 577 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:46.920 a good singer ends up, you know, because you're used to using the 578 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:52.119 mic, and you're used to getting all the emotion that you need into into 579 00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:57.159 a microphone rather than one you know, on a camera. Excuse me, 580 00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.679 and uh, and you're one hundred percent right. That is a very observation. 581 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.360 I've always said that, it's so true. Just a little, quick, 582 00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.400 quick, little side story that just maybe think of this and just Jim's 583 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:12.679 prowess for musicality. This is really off topic, but it's kind of on 584 00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:16.519 topic. Just Jim, you know, like he's obviously a great singer and 585 00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:21.880 very musical. And we're going Christmas caroling one year, just a few years 586 00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.719 ago. Yeah, Christmas caroling. Wo. Yeah, we went around the 587 00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:31.400 neighborhood Christmas caroling as a family. Yes, And we're like rehearsing, like 588 00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:35.400 there's like a dozen of us maybe, and we're rehearsing like roote off the 589 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.280 red Nose reindeer, and Jim goes, okay, now let's do this one 590 00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:43.079 in C minor or something like that. Yeah, you all of us look 591 00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:47.079 at each other. We know your audience. We don't even know what we're 592 00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:53.199 singing it right now? Yeah? Yeah, are we gonna change? Are 593 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.079 we already in C minor? I don't know? Yeah, who knows? 594 00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.719 That was just that was just Jim throwing he's wide around. Yeah, Well 595 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:05.360 we weren't an Asia minor that that was the important thing. Oh god, 596 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.480 I remember it. Well, what did you sing on Billy West doorstep? 597 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.800 Then he lives down the road, doesn't he? Not much? I like, 598 00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:17.960 remember is Christopher's brother Cameron stood on the curb. He was like, 599 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:23.360 no, I'm fine. Yeah, you know, I'll record you doing it. 600 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:27.920 Go ahead, wish them a merry Christmas and wish them you know, 601 00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:30.519 I'll be over here on the curb. Here's here's a five from me. 602 00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:34.599 Here's a five. Yeah, here's a fin. Yeah, you're gonna still 603 00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.000 do that this year? When's last timer? Christmas caroling? Is that just 604 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.679 like a one time deal or is that an annual tradition? No, it 605 00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:44.360 was the fourth of July actually indepenite day. Yeah, we did Christmas caroly. 606 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:46.639 I wanted to get it in early, get it, get a jump 607 00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:50.679 on it, get a jump. Well, if there's one way to you 608 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:52.280 know, have a monopoly over the audience, is you know you have all 609 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:58.000 the doorsteps of acant and in July. Surely that's right, exactly. It's 610 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.400 one of those things though, I feel like it doesn't matter. What if 611 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:01.840 someone rapped off my door and started seeing Christmas carols? I'm not going to 612 00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:05.920 turn them away and be like, okay, cool, I'm up for this. 613 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:07.880 But it's one thing we don't really have very often in Australia because here 614 00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:13.199 in Australia when it's Christmas, it's like thirty five degree that's about ninety degree 615 00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.800 fairy light. So it's hot at Christmas time. So we go to the 616 00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:19.920 beach on Christmas morning, where over there you do not want to be going 617 00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:23.960 to the beach on Christmas morning? Yeah, what you said? Em. 618 00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:27.960 So the whole idea of getting out and caroling, it's just not really a 619 00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:30.599 not really a tradition here in Australia, don't do it all that often. 620 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.159 All right, gentlemen, Well let's wrap this one up, shall we? 621 00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.159 All?
